HILGENDORFF PHOTO Exposure good experience CONTINUED from Page 1. "l"ve never worked on a farm before," he said. Although he lives in Edmonton, Lief is from Nova Scotia and has travelled across Canada so exposure to farm- ing has been a good experi- ence for him. "I really like it," he said. At first, he was uncomfortable but said he's able to joke and work well with other farm staff now. But he is looking forward to the Thailand half of the exchange when he can learn from Paded. Already, Lief can speak some Thai and Paded is work- ing on English. They work with hooks to help translate difficult words and phrases but have already learned much from each other. Lief said one of the chal- lenges has been having to (earn the pig operation at the same time he and Paded have had to learn to work together across culture and language harriers. Even without being there. Lief has discovered how dif- ferent culture is in Thailand and Paded has found the same, first-hand in Canada. It is difficult for him to describe thc difference here hut he stresses how much more technology there is all around. On Oct. 15, the second half of the exchange begins with the young people travelling to Thailand where they will live with Thai families and work on agricultural projects there.
